6.7.6 NL241 Wi-Fi accessory kit
The wireless network link kit includes hardware for installing a Wi-Fi network link into an WS-
PRO2 weather station. The Wi-Fi modem accessory kit and antenna are ordered separately.
6.7.6.1 Antenna
Rain Bird recommends the 2.4 GHz 5.8 dBd omnidirectional antenna with the NL241 Wi-Fi
modem in an WS-PRO2 station. This antenna provides a 5.8 dBd gain.
The Wi-Fi kit provides the hardware needed to mount the antenna to the WS-PRO2 pole.
6.7.6.2 Power considerations
Rain Bird recommends using either AC power or a 10-watt solar panel and the PS24 power
supply. Refer to
